Stochastic fluctuations drive biological processes from particle diffusion to neuronal spike times. The goal of this talk is to use and extend a variety of mathematical frameworks to understand such fluctuations and derive insight into the corresponding applications. We start by considering n…

Symplectic dynamics is the study of dynamical systems using tools from symplectic topology, like Floer homology. Many natural dynamical systems in physics and topology can be studied fruitfully through this lens, including many-body problems, billiards and surface diffeomorphisms.
